Start the WeekThe Arts and politics: Rory Bremner, Peter Kosminsky and Iwona BlazwickOn Start the Week Andrew Marr asks how the arts tackle politics and current affairs. The performer Rory Bremner turns his comedic eye to opera, in an updated version of Offenbach's Orpheus in the Underworld. Originally written to satirise Napoleon III's Paris, Bremner draws present day parallels with a spin-filled, celebrity-obsessed world.

In 1939 the Whitechapel gallery in London was the space chosen to show Picasso's...
